The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education (HPBSE) has postponed all examinations for Classes 10 to 12 that were scheduled for on March 23, Monday.

The board, in its order issued on Saturday, said the examinations had been postponed till further orders due to coronavirus outbreak.

All practical examinations have also been postponed.

Meanwhile, Kangra Deputy Commissioner Rakesh Prajapati said Section 144 of the CrPC would be invoked strictly in the district from Saturday.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
